Scorpion Control in Southlake, TX
Decorative stone and irrigated mulch give scorpions daytime shelter feet from the wall. Newer construction means few openings, which makes screening them genuinely worthwhile.

Overview What is Forterra's scorpion control service?
Forterra Scorpion Control in Southlake works the landscaping as much as the building. Decorative stone, timber edging and deep irrigated mulch give striped bark scorpions cool daytime shelter within feet of the house, and newer construction means the openings are few enough to screen properly.

W-2 technicians, every visit logged, and the ★ 5.0 rating across 2,080 Google reviews sits on this office's own profile.

On the ground in Southlake
Stone, mulch and what shelters under it.
Southlake landscaping gives scorpions good daytime shelter. Decorative stone, timber edging, deep mulch beds and anything sitting flat against the ground are all places to spend daylight within a few feet of the house, and irrigation keeps those spots cool and damp through the season. At night they move, and an unscreened weep hole or a garage door corner is all that is between the bed and the house.
Newer construction means the openings are fewer and easier to close, which works in your favour here. We treat the perimeter and harborage rather than the open lawn, screen the weep holes where they are open, and flag the landscaping features that are doing the most work. Reducing the insect population on the property matters too, because that is what keeps them coming.

Why sprays alone fail
We take away their food and shelter, not just spray.
Irrigation keeps Southlake landscaping cool and damp, which is exactly what scorpions want during daylight. At night the weep holes and garage corners are all that stands between the bed and the house.
Stage 01
01
Remove cover
Lose the cover, lose the scorpions.
A scorpion walks high on its legs and shrugs off surface sprays that kill other pests. What it cannot survive is losing its cover, rock borders, wood piles and clutter get identified and treated, and you get the short list worth clearing.
Stage 02
02
Starve hunters
A yard that stops feeding them stops keeping them.
Scorpions came for the crickets and roaches. The quarterly general pest treatment removes that prey base, and a yard that stops feeding scorpions stops keeping them.
Stage 03
03
Seal entries
Weep holes and door gaps stop being a way to your bathtub.
Weep holes, door sweeps, attic vents and foundation gaps are how they end up in a bathtub. Zero Gap exclusion closes the routes, so summer heat pushes them somewhere else.
Where scorpions actually get in
The bathtub scorpion started outside. Here is its route.
Striped bark scorpions climb brick effortlessly and follow cool, moist air. In July drought they work these six openings until one gives.
● Inspected entry point
▲ Above grade Climbers and high entries
▼ Below grade Ground-level entries
- 01
Weep holes
Scorpion-sized by design and at harborage height, the single most common entry we seal in DFW.
- 02
Garage door bottom
The corner gap plus stored clutter equals daytime shelter one door from the house.
- 03
Soffit gaps
Climbers reach the roofline by wall and tree; attic entries drop them into closets and tubs.
- 04
HVAC penetrations
Cool air leaking from line-set holes is a beacon in a Texas drought.
- 05
Gable vents
Torn screens read as cave entrances to a climbing scorpion. A torn screen is worth replacing, and the inspection points every one out.
- 06
Utility penetrations
Slab-level gaps stay damp; scorpions follow plumbing lines to bathrooms above.

The scorpion visit
Forterra's scorpion process, step by step.
We treat the perimeter and harborage rather than the open lawn, screen the weep holes, and flag which landscape features are doing the most work. On newer construction that closure holds.

Transparent quote
Priced from your couch. The quote tool needs about a minute, the office phone barely longer. Scorpion service rides the quarterly plan, so the monthly figure you see is the one you keep.
- 02
First-visit inspection
The technician works the perimeter, harborage points, entry gaps and prey pressure, adding UV survey work where it helps, to learn where scorpions rest rather than where one was spotted.
- 03
Treat and exclude
Targeted treatment at the harborage, general pest control for the prey base, and sealing on the entry routes, all in the same visit.
- 04
Guaranteed results
Another scorpion inside means another visit, free. Coverage continues quarter after quarter, and the money-back guarantee is the floor under all of it.
Frequently asked
Questions in Southlake, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 665-6527 or text us, a human will answer.
Painful, similar to a wasp sting, and not dangerous for most healthy adults. Anyone with a known sting allergy should be seen. On Southlake properties with children playing outside it is worth treating the harborage rather than waiting.
They came in hunting and could not climb back out of a smooth basin. On a Southlake property it usually means an unscreened weep hole behind a planted bed, since that is the shortest route from mulch to house.
Perimeter spray alone rarely holds. On these properties the results come from screening the weep holes, treating the harborage in the beds, and reducing the insect population they are hunting, which the quarterly plan does anyway.
Landscaping decides it. Decorative stone, deep irrigated mulch, timber edging and anything sitting flat give daytime shelter, so two neighbouring Southlake properties can differ enormously based on how the beds are built.
Covered by the quarterly plan at $49 a month, initial service from $149. Where a property has extensive stone and mulch we may suggest dedicated harborage treatment, quoted separately so you can see what it covers.
